Wow, I've been gone for quite a while. From the looks of it most of the old skoolers are less present as well. Here's something a was finally able to do. I really hope it works, I'm still with geocities so it may fritz on me.

Here's a high res close-up of these two

yeah sorry about the name thing, its just because a few of my pictures were stolen. So for a while I'll be a little on edge about that.
The story...is not something I thought about. I just put the two characters together and saw what sort of scene popped up. Whenever you drop a few different people in one place, stuff happens, and it works with pictures too.

Matt -

Everything about your work just keeps getting better - colors, composition, proportions, gesture... awesome!

Why are people so cheap they have to use Geocities as there webhost ...it is really sad and pathetic to me.

Very nice Isric!
What is your artistic background? Did you go to art school?

Painted Melody · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 1:01 pm

Great characters and story telling as always Isric!

I was wondering, if you got the chance to see my coloring of your Tad Williams drawing. I know it isn't much

Wow, reply time:

Liquid- thank you, that means a lot to me coming from someone I respect.

S4Sb- hehe, Gollum is cool

Milkman- Hmmm...sorry I don't have money to put into this like some people. As many corners as I can cut, the better. If this is a problem...could you suggest somewhere better? Some way that doesn't involve me spending my art college tuition?

Binke- thanks, I am.

Joachim- much thanks, and good to hear from you! your not dead!

Ceenda- sorry, I don't know what else to do aside from get a better acount elswhere.

Shadowman- I have no artistic background, in the sense of art schools or formal instruction. I'm a self-taught Canadian kid, hopefully going to art college this september.

Painted Melody- Holy crap! That's so cool, thanks for showing me that. It has a lot of style, and even though the palate is wierd, I still love it.

Thanks all, would someone be able to post the picture on their host? It would be a big help.

Painted Melody · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 2:03 pm

Thanks :]

Here's your pic

Hosted by http://www.liquid2k.com , so far they haven't given me any problems

http://www.tbns.net has been kind to me so far as well as others on this forum (I'm assuming).

Great pic by the way, Isric. Love the mood and the setting allows for so many scenarios...

NeoFun · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 5:41 pm

I always am interested by the things you post, and this has to be one of your best pieces. I am confused by the white highlight on his forehead though and some of the other lighting. The overall style and color is awsome.

Icannon · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 8:21 pm

nice one, dude. that guys large head freaks me out. great job on the hands and facial expressions especially. also, the lighting is fantastic overall.

TheMilkMan · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 8:49 pm

Hmmm very nicely done isric......nice colors hmm about the web hosting...well geocities does not lik to do image hosting at all so maybe your local isp provides you with web space for free , they do...maybe just a few megs worth ,ike mine provides 5 megs or something but it is enough to keep a few images online ..anyways kep the good stuff coming

Ian · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 1:17 am

Very nice

I like the expression on the man's face. He looks annoyed,amused, and patient. Very well done.

hey thanks all! Anyone else have some comment about this that hasen't been said?

Elijah · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 2:59 pm

The gesture and the mood is very nice here, I really like this one. the only thing I can say is maybe about the human's eyes, from a distance it looks like he's looking at the goblin thing, but up close is it seems he is sstaryong at the camera, not much contrast in the pupils. Another thing is the fact that they're both looking at the camera(viewer/whatever) makes the picture seem a little posed and un natural, but maybe if the situation involves them staring at the viewer it works just fine.

Matt Ryan · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 3:32 pm

love the cartoony look, and your use of color, keep it up!

u2art · Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2001 12:31 am

I LOVE IT!

the drawing is very animation design oriented...me likes, also it looks original...at least to me. I applaud you!!! It makes me want to know your influences...well..? :P

here here 3 cheers

u2art · Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2001 12:33 am

oh yeah...how long did it take...just wondering...and what kind of reference do you use, if at all? And did you just make this up? or did something inspire it...sorry I am nosy, just interested.

wow. that was quick. just 10 mins ago i asked for something in colors

i think, however, that the orange spots on the charecters has nothing to do with the source of light (fire). i think that this can be fixed... but great scene. i can really imagine that there was a story related. awsome.
